Alleged Robbery.—A youth about nine
teen years of age, giving his name as Phil
ip Edwards, and stating that he came from
Ohio, appeared at the Mayor's office yester
' day morning, and alleged that be had been
robbed of SlOb. He says that he went into
a saloon in the city on the evening previous
and took a drink. Soon after drinking be
fell asleep and slept several hours, and on
waking found the money gone. He thinks
the stuff he drank was drugged. The
money has not yet been recovered.
Severe Accident.—Yesterday morning,
while the gun ' which gave The signal
for the! starting of the procession was
-being loaded for the second diScharge, it
exploded, badly shattering the arm and
otherwise injuring fir. W. F. Hood, who was
ramming in the load. He was taken into
the Monongahela House and mediae' as
sistance procured. It is doubtful whether
the arm can be saved from amputation.
Mr. Hood is as worthy a gentleman and as
gallant a soldier as ever stood before a gun,
and should the accident deprii - e him of the
nse of his - arm it will be a calamity fully
lamented by all who know him. The acci
dent was of such a nature as would happen

Probably Fatal Shot.

Torchlight procession, on Wednesday even
ing, arrived at the corner of Federal and
Lacock streets, Allegheny, a pistol shot
was fired into the crowd of spectators, the
bail taking effect in the side of Mr. John

which will probably prove fatal. Officers
Garrison and McGarr, by direption-of Capt.
Lewis, arrested Lawrence Fox, who fired
the shot, and conveyed him to the Mayor's
office, where he was searched and a revol
ver found in his possession. Fox, who Is
about fifty years of age, says he had no in
tention of injuring any person, but fixed the
shot to add to the enthusiasm of the occa
sion. Welsh's case is considereld a critical
one by his physicians, and Fox / will be de

injuries. /

The Arctic Expedition—Traces - Of Sir John
Franklin's Party. - '
Dr. Geoid, of Dublin, Ireland, who has
spent the past two years in the Arctic re
gions, arrived at New London a few days
ago, and brought the latest accounts of
Capt. Hall and the expedition sent out by
_
Henry Grinnell, of New York, under his
command, to learn, if possible, the fate of
Erebus and-Terror, with Sir John Franklin
ani his crews,
which vessels sailed twenty
five years ago in quest of the Northern
sIV pas
e. Dr. Goold makes the following state:
m nts :
-In August one year ago, Dr. Goold
sp nt cansiderable time with Mr. Hall, who
\S then at Repulse Bay. Mr. Hall has
traced the fate directly of two of the last
survivors of Sir John Franklin's party, and
has obtained valuable information regard
inn.' the relics and some records reported - 1)y
the natives to have been left by the lost ex
in pcditionKing . William's Land. Captain
Hall learned from some of the Esquimaux,
in 1866, that about two years prior to that
time Captain Crozier and one of the Frank
lin crew had died in the vicinity of South
ampton Island, while endeavoring to make
their way to that place,_in the belief that
it t ey would be there able to meet a whaler
convey them back to England, or, in fact,
ywhere, to escape from their Arctic prison.
upt. Hall is confident of the identity of
Capt. Orozeir with one of the men so describ
ed to have perished, as the natives not only
gave Capt. Crozier's name, but were in pos
session of certain articles that belonged to
him and to his companion. Mr. Hall ob
tained from these Esquimaux Captain Cro
zier's watch, a gold chronometer, made by
Arnold & Dent, of London, beside some
small articles of silver and trinkets belonging
to their outfit. These ielicS Mr. Hall now
holds, and have been seen and handled by
Dr. Goold. Captain Crozier's companiorq'
who died with him, is believed to have been
a steward of either the Erebus or Terror, as
the natives say he was a server of food, but
could not recollect his name. The natives
also state that they have among them, near
Southampton Island, a piece of gold lace
and a piece of gold bullion which belonged
to Captain Crozier, and is believed to have
formed a part of one of his epaulettes. They
also stated that a number of others had start
ed with Capt. Crozier from a place very far
north to reach Southampton Inlet. but bad
perished one by one on the way. They had
been passed from one band' of Enewits to
the other, and when Captain Crozier had'
passed through two tribes the natives say
all further traces were lost, but Captain
Hall himself traced the remainder there.
Captain Hall also says: `The opinion mast
entertained is that the natives killed them.'
They say themselves there was no difficulty
in Captain Crozier getting through, because
lie was accounted among the natives a first
rate hunter for that country, and could at all
times keep himself in, food.' The records
which Captain Hall hopes to be able to se
core are in King William's land, and con
siderable difficulty is anticipated in the ef
tOrt to reach them. According to native in
formation, the last six survivors built a cab
in or rude vault of stones on the rocks, and
deposited within it some documents and
such articles as they had no further use for,
or would Lave been an encum
brance on their . journey. For some
time past ( King 'William and his
tribe have been hostile towards the native
followers of King Albert, who inhabit the
region about Repulse Bay, where Mr. Hall
was quartered, and would allow no incur
sions into their country. The piece where
this'cairn is described to be situated is about
four hundred and fifty miles northward
from Repulse Bay, and in order to reach it
Captain Hall has ilirmed an alliance with
Alburt and his people, and, together with
his own escort orEuropeans, was preparing
an - expedition of about ninety persons
to march In finest of the records.
It was Mr. Halt's intention to start
in February or March of this year, and
he -had already accumulated supplies of
provisions and other necessaries for the pur
pose. His force will consist of five Caucas
iana besides himself, and the remainder
would be composed of Alfred's men. Of the
whites accompanying him two were Irish
men, one German, one Englishman and one
Swede, all of whom were recruited by him
from the crew of the Pioneer, which was
wrecked In the summer of 1867, at King's
Cape. These men are all armed with re
volvers and shot guns, and it was mainly
through reiiance,on the Europeans and their
weapons that the Albert men were induced
to participate in the incursion. Alone they
would be unable to cope wittu King, Wil
liams forces, who number about two hun
dred, and could be assembled in a month.
Capt. Hall would offer no molestation to
King William's people, but if opposed
would give them battle if necessary, as he
was determined to obtain the records of the
lost explorers if possible. He would be ac
companied also by Joe and Hannah, the two
Esquimaux or Enewits, who, it will be re
membered, were a few years ago educated
in thi4 country, and exhibitedin New York.
Joe and Hannah are man and wife,
and now form part of Capt. Hall's
retinue, or household, thus affording
him valuable assistance through their
knowledge of the English language, com
municating with the various tribes of na
tives, with whose dialects and peculiarities
they are familiar. The entire distance, it
was expected, would have to be traversed
on sledges drawn by dogs, of which useful
motive power Mr. Hall has an abundant
stock. It was Mr. Hall's determination, if
successful in finding the cairn and no un
foreseen circumstances or obstacles inter
vened, to press still further forward, and if
possible to reach the open Polar Sea,
and perhaps return by the way of Behring
Strait. If impeded, he expected to return
from his expedition to King William's Land
about September of 1868, and take up his
quarters for the winter at Repulse Bay.
Last year he wintered in this locality, and
at the time Dr. Goold saw him he was in 66
degrees 28 minutes north latitude, and longi
tude 81 degrees 5 minutes west.
"A fact which Dr. Goold reports, and
which may prove of interest to scientific
men, is to be found in the observation that
last winter, although unusually severe here,
was the mildest ever known in the Arctic
regions, the temperature at no time falling
lower than forty degrees below zero."
The Indian Troubles.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gasette.l
FORT WALLACE, Sept. 24.—A scout who
left Col. Form the's camp on:the 19th came
in to-day,,and reports that the party had
plenty of ammunition and were in good
spirits. Their - rations were all gone and
their only dependence was horse and mule
meat. Col. Forsythe thought, if absolutely
necessary to do so, they could sustain them
selves six drys longer. The Indians were
evidently sick of their bargain, and•were it
not for the condition of,their wounded they
wonld come through to Fort Wallace, as
they were confident of whipping the enemy
if attacked f The Indians lost twenty-five
killed, and a large number of 'wounded,
and considerable stook were killed and dis
abled. They removed most of their dead
from the field after night, though some were
too el se to our mon to venture with safety.
It is confidently expected that Bank head
and Carpenter would reach Forsythe this
morning.

A somewhat remarkable article has ap
peared in the Springfield Republican, pur
porting to be written by "An Eye Witness,"
on the system of discipline and the nature
of punishments in use in our navy. This
article contains several rather startling as
sertions of facts, .which, whether true or
false, should be generally known, and to
this end they are here reproduced:
The "Eye Witness," for 'example, says:
"It will be found. that there is an almost
total ignorance, even among the best in
formed officers, as to the ends of discipline,
and more especially as to the best method of
securing it. It may be asserted,without fear
I of contradiction, that nowhere in the United
States, not even on the Southern plantations
in those sunny days for which our mis
guided brethern sigh, were there ever more
systematic cruelties practiced than on some
of our ships of war during the last five years.
* * * The punishments constantly in
flicted during the war, in direct violation or
evasion of the 'articles for the better gov
ernment of the navy,' were numerous and
severe, and some officers, not cruel, thought
of the days of the cat at the gangway, and
wondered whether we have improved in
abandoning it.
A surgeon of a ship off Charleston ( had his
attention called, upon joining the ship, to
the case of a boy made permanently ill, up"
parently'by being kept for hours at a time
on deck, with a 32 pound shot tied to each
wrist, and a running noose around his neck,
and fastened in the rigging above, so that
any motion to ease himself from the intoler
able weight would end in strangulation if
persisted in; this punishment being ordered
by his commanding officer.
n * * The universal place of impris
onment is the "brig," or "sweat box," for
it is the same thing with two names. It is
a room guilt in the middle of the berth-deck.
closed above and below, without windows,
and ventilated only by a few half-inch
augur holes in the door, or the sides. Al
though it often contains fouri men at once, it
is rarely large enough to allow a full grown
man to stretch out on the floor. Yet here
men pass their weary days and weeks, being
permitted to leave only for the calls of na
ture, and then under the custody of the
master-at-arms.
In the fall of 1862 a medical officer on
board a ship lying at the Portsmouth yard,
was called at ten o'clock at night by the
master-at-arms, who informed him that a
man in the brig wanted to see him, and
when the door opened,' he found four men
standing, sitting and lying in a space of
four feet wide, two and one-half deep, and
six and one-half high. They all belonged to
the belligerent and offensive negro race.
One was sitting at the back of the cell with
his hand-cuffed hands to his face, heart bro
ken at the disgrace that had befallen him,
after a year's faithful service. The man
who had asked the help of the doctor had
since fallen asleep on the floor, and on at
tempting toawaken him, irproved to be the
mercifill insensibility of asphyxia that had
so nearly rescued him from the routine
of naval discipline. Upon inquiry, it proved
that the executive officer had gone to bed,
leaving no orders for the liberation of these
men. So they were certain to be in all
night. A knock on the door showed him to
be enjoying - the sleep of innocence and
peace, and an appeal to the commander, who
had only that day reported for duty, caused
the promPt liberation of the prisoners.
This worthy executive officer was discharg
ed from the service by a board of medical
survey for feigned amaurosis, and those in
his confidence have enjoyed the excellent
humor with which he described how he
blundered against his doctor at midday and
thus secured his verdict. The sweat box,
on one of the monitors at least, was design
edly placed near the boiler ' so that artificial
heat could, at pleasure, be added to the tor
tures bf confinement.
There was in the early years of the war,
a punishment beside which the brig was
merciful and kind. Let the reader imagine
his hands placed behind his back, the wrists
securely bound together, and then the other
end of this cord fastened to a bolt in the
deck overhead, with so little slack that the
ends of the toes just touch the berth deck;
the shoulders are thrown forward, and when
the least roll of the ship takes place, the
poor wretch loses his hold upon the deck
and swings to and fro, the weight of the
body striving to dislocate the arms from the
shoulder blades. And these were not the
scum and refuse of our great cities, nor the
habitually degraded European sailors; neith
er was it away back .n the times of the Duke
of Alba and the inquisition that these attro
cious cruelties were practiced; but Wor
cester county farmers' sons, who did
not hear an order to come on deck, were
thus tortured in 1862. One night, in the
fall of that year, a man was ordered
to be 'triced up' (for that was the name of
this hellish crime) for an hour, and when be
told the officer he had nb right to punish
him in that way, the order was changed to
punishment during the pleasure of the offi
cer, and in this case the man was forgotten,
the offiser wept to bed, and his victim hung
from six o'clock to ten. A sudden night
call, in this awful autumn, took the surgeon
to his dispensary on the berth deck, and- as
the ship was rolling heavily, he steadied
himself against the side of the ship and
waited until a sudden rolling brought a
swinging body against him, and then he
beard a groan. There were three you,*
men, for some small offence, wearing away
the darkness in that place, bumping against
each other, with their faces so distorted by
agony that noneof them were recognized
even on close inspection."
VALLANDIGITAIK in his stumping tour in
Ohio boasts that no appointment in the rev.
enue service or any other brach of the Gov
eernment service under the control of the
Secretary of the Treasury will be made
without his consent. This most bold-faced
declaration of the prostitution of the Gov
ernment patronage to defeat an ex-soldier
like Gen. Schenck and advince the interests
of such a man as Vallandigham, teaches a
lesson which is applicable to other sections
of the country.
